I was commenting on the random punctuation, not the presence of parking itself. As far as the comparison to South Common - Westmount, like most traditional malls, was and continues to be a park once set-up, something SC most definitely is not. Wrong thread but whoever "designed" SC needs their...

"Surface" parking, no less! Loves me some random quotation marks! And good god, look at the price of bacon!!!

I've always been against the idea of RCs but frankly, given some of the absolute crap being built by unscrupulous (or maybe plain gormless) developers, I can hardly blame people, especially if they feel the City isn't listening.

Sorta makes me wish they'd keep quiet about these big projects until they were actually ready to start building. I know that's not how things work, but it's just hard to get one's hopes up only to be dashed.

Another reason I skip the socials entirely. Not worth my mental health. A friend once said that social media gave a bullhorn to the ijits who would normally have just quietly ijited in their own little enclaves and we're all paying the price.

Thanks for that. I knew they were reputable, but that's about it. And if that's the case, I find the 17% to be quite horrifying.

4% joining the US - buahahahaha! That Linkedin essay someone shared a while back covered that pretty well. If they wanna be Puerto Rico North, have at'er. Idiots. I wonder how representative of the general population that poll is (I know nothing about statistics, polling, and all that jazz, so...

They sure like to close those reports, eh? I reported an abandoned vehicle on my street that's been causing a bottleneck with all the snow piled up around it. Submitted it on the website twice, called it in, got a ref number, called to check and was told it had been closed. Apparently the City's...

They did it beautifully with the Alberta Hotel, so yeah, it can be done. But the will has to be there.

Well, now I need to go and look up what you mean about the "edgy divisiveness of Balenciaga" cause I loves me some hot goss, but I know literally nothing about the luxury market because I'm too damn cheap.

Wait, this isn't the Paris thread? Oops! 😜

To be fair (and I say this as someone who hasn't been to Paris), I would most likely skip the Eiffel tower and the Louvre because I hate crowds. Been to NYC multiple times and only went on the Empire State building once (and regretted it for exactly that reason) and always took the Staten Island...

I did not see this level of crap coming from Beljan.

"Alternative likely a dirt pile" says so much about our attitudes here.

Nice! We're planning a trip to Montreal in September for the world cycling championships and the thought of having to swap planes did not thrill me.
